While riding electric bikes for outings, it is indeed necessary to carry an air pump. Even though electric bikes have self-inflating tires or come with small hand pumps, these may not be enough in cases of punctures or large air loss. Additionally, traditional pumps are more reliable and accurate for inflating tires to the desired pressure, which is crucial for maintaining safety and control on the road. Air pumps also tend to be more versatile and can fit on both front and rear tires for proper inflation balance. As an added benefit, they can also fit on regular bicycles if needed, making them a great all-around tool to have on hand.
